Snow melt and periodic heavy rains during the month of March caused the Spokane River to achieve Minor Flood Stage. High water flooded fields, parks and trails along the river bank and caused basement flooding of nearby houses and businesses. The river receded but continued to run above Flood Stage through the end of March.
